footprints in the sand

Take a look at this super deeee duper touching story!

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there was one only.
This bothered me because I noticed that during the
low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from anguish,
sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints,
so I said to the Lord,
“You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
there has only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”
The Lord replied,
“The years when you have seen only one set of footprints,
my child, is when I carried you.”


 God has a reason for everything and He's showing us His amazing ways of reaching out to us by giving these loving words. So when we feel alone and lonely, you can always tell that God is by our side, carrying us through those tough times.


You walked with me,
footprints in the sand
And helped me understand where I’m going
You walked with me when I was all alone
With so much I know along the way
Then I heard you say

I promise you, I’m always there

When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair
I’ll carry you when you need a friend
You’ll find my footprints in the sand

I see my life flash across the sky

So many times have I been so afraid
And just when I have thought I lost my way
You give me strength to carry on
That’s when I heard you say

I promise you, I’m always there

When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair
And I’ll carry you when you need a friend
You’ll find my footprints in the sand

When I’m weary, well, I know you’ll be there

And I can feel you when you say

I promise you, I’m always there

When your heart is filled with sadness and despair
I’ll carry you when you need a friend
You’ll find my footprints in the sand

I promise you, I’m always there

When your heart is full of sadness and despair
I’ll carry you when you need a friend
You’ll find my footprints in the sand
